Like I said, I can't contact support and I'm not about to call them. I finally figured it out on my own. Apparently, somewhere along the way, Origin must have decided my nickname was too short so they changed it, but they changed it to my email address, leaving out the "@" symbol and the dot in the email and substituting spaces. So basically my "nick" was like: "myemail gmail com", which of course was an invalid nickname. Once I noticed this, I changed my nickname and it works.
It is very stupid for anyone to force nicknames to be six or more characters. If I want a single letter as my nick, this should be my right. There is no security reason for this; that's what a password is for. And why can't I use my Origin name for an Origin game? I have to make a different name just for the Crysis series games. So stupid.
Leave it to Origin...
